I can agree with this. It'll be a little difficult to implement, but totally
doable.

Spellchecked with en-UK this is great and correct. However, I personally
can't *stand* colour, maximize, etc... so they should be marked as incorrect
since I'm in en-US land. So now we're up to 2 items. What about custom
defined and ignored words (i.e. you've added "aBIWORD" to your dictionary,
but I want "AbiWord"). Those custom words don't get exported to the
document, so now we add those words to the document (which is probably not
the desired behavior). So now we add a 3rd item for this word-list. Now I
have 2000 words in my add-on dictionary. Do we export all of those to disk,
or do we just scour the document for what words are used (lots of overhead
added)...
